General Donaldson's Fortunate Mis-
take.

From the Century we quote the following
war anecdote, by r. III. Eddy Prior to
tho battle of Nashville. Major-General
James L. Donaldson (who won honors in
the Mexican war, and who died in the
spring of 1886, was quartermaster General
Thomas. He once told me the following in
cident
Having occasion to purchase mules for the
army, he ordered a person In whom he had
confidence TO visit the contiguous Northern
States, inadvertently saying TO him, "Buy
as many as you can, NOT supposing he
would be able to secure more than a few
thousand at the most. Some weeks after
ward, just before the attack upon Hoods
army, General Donaldson, on meeting his
agent inquired how many mules he had
been able 10 secure. To the amazement of
the general he was informed that twenty
thousand or more had been obtained. Upon
which the general exclaimed sam ruined
man shall be court-martialed and driv-
en- from the army for not limiting you in
the purchase. You have procured many
times more than had any idea or inten-
ton of purchasing (; but the fault is mine
not yours. ought to have been particular
in my order" In an extremely dishearten-
ed state he went to his home, believing that
such thoughtless act on his part could not
be overlooked by the commanding general
He had scarcely reached his house before
messenger came from General Thomas
with an order for General Donaldson &c
come Immediately TO headquarters. This
seemed to be the sealing of his fate, and In
state of trepidation bordering on frenzy
he appeared before General Thomas, whom
he found in n mood, apparently of great de
preston. Soon after Donaldson entered his
presence General Thomas said, How many
mules have you ?" With some perturbation
he replied, Upwards of twenty-five thous-
and. twenty-five thousand, did you say p
repeated the general. 'Ts it possible that
You have this number? Donaldson accept
nv most heartfelt thanks you have saved
tins army can now nave transportation
and can fight Hood. and will do SO N

DON'T FRET AND WORRY.
Words OF Advice for Exhausted and
Nervous Housekeepers.

every one of these doors creaks
SO horribly that it almost sets me
wild" exclaimed tired housekeeper,
trying to rest little after the labors
of wearisome day. Now this was
not the first, perhaps it was the twen-
tieth time she had made the same or a
similar remark about the creaking OF
the doors, when with the aid OF bot
tie of oil and feather she might have
made them swing noiselessly and
saved herself all the annoyances she
had suffered.
Ii is q great deal easier to makesug-
gestions than to follow them ; but it
seems TO me that the golden rule" for
housekeepers might be this Ifany
thing goes wrong for which there
is remedy, apply it as soon as possi-
BILE If there is absolutely no remedy
do not fret, but make the best Of it. "
believe that often it is not the
work that makes US feel so thorough
ly weary at the end of the week as
worrying over it. i remember of iret-
ting good deal over some Thanks
giving pies, complaining that / al
ways spoiled them by putting in too
much of one thing or another, when
my sister quietly remarked that per-
haps l put too much anxiety into
them. / saw the point, and resolved
henceforth to do the best / could
with my cooking, and to worry less
oyer results. OF course I had after
wards better success, and far more
peace of mind.
There are days in the experience of
every housekeeper when every thing
seemed determined to 60 wrong, and
a perfect avalanche of little troubles
and perplexities seem to overwhelm
one. Then, indeed, is she that ruleth
her spirit "better then he that taketh
o city"
But how often at the close of such
day have we to look back and seen that
all came right at last in spite of our
forebodings, and we have wished so
much that we could have been self
controlled and sweet-tempered through
it all.
IL is so natural to magnify little
troubles instead of remembering that
they are not worth fretting about If
at breakfast the biscuits are little too
yellow, and the steak trihe overdone,
in almost every case no one viii be
troubled about ii you ace not.
Ifthe coffee Is not just exactly right
no one win notice it unless you call
attention to it by some disparaging re.
mark. Especially should we guard a.
gainst habit of fretting because of
the discomfort it causes those about
us, and the bad influence it has upon
them. IF the housekeeper frets the
children do the same, and the servants
also. for nothing is more contagious
and we have anything but a happy
household. However badly things
may go, nothing is gained by worry
ing over them and if we can not always
be bright and cheerful, we can at
least endure pltiently .lill he storm
passes over and the sunshine returns az
| surely will in due ime.-ChristiGn

A couple were riding out in the country,
when they passed. barnyard in which
were two calves. The young lady observed:
ooh see those two little cowlets." "You
are mistaken" remarked the young man,
'they are not cowlets but bullets"
